You are asked to provide the results of fifty harvests from Thundering Steppes for the journeyman crafters of your society. Please note that's fifty harvests, not fifty items. You will get to keep the raws after this step.

Journey to the appropriate zone and harvest 50 times, any nodes will do, and return to the NPC.

You are then asked to help fill some orders the society is behind in from a list, which appears in your quest journal. Make your choice of the following:

Return to the NPC and select your choice of one of the Tier 3 Advanced recipe books for your class (Provisioners get some advanced recipes using imbuing thingies just for this quest). Pick carefully, this quest is not repeatable.

It's worth noting that the level 28 and 29 Advanced books seem to be scarce on most servers.

Completing this quest also unlocks a class cloak for purchase from your Grandmaster.

Does anyone know if this quest is suppose to be repeatable. I have completed it at tradeskills level 21. I went back to do my turn ins and he offered me the quest again. I accepted but it's not in my journal. I went to North Qeynos and accepted it and it still not in journal. I logged out and back into game thinking it would help but no difference. It would stand to reason that if we can get all of our advanced books from this quest for volume 21-29 we would be able to do it multiple times. If antone can assist with an answer please let me know.

If you are a Tailor, you won't be able to do this quest. I have scribed all my books level 1 - 22 for tradeskills. None of the items you have to make are available to tailors. All you can do is the first part in thundering steppes.

As a Provisioner for 2nd part of the quest I've got a request to make 6 oolong teas (not provided above for the list of recipes), which is 3 combines for quest updates, while all other crafters need to make only 1 combine.

It is just Harvesting. You must find something 50 times. If you harvest 6 gold clusters in one you will get credit for 1 not all 6 at the same time. It is also good because as you advance you will need your harvesting skills maxed for other quests.

It's just harvesting, not collections, so it's not as bad as it looks. for some classes it's very valuable, as some advanced recipe books seem to be pretty scarce. and Provisioners get a special book available no where else (because they have no advanced books).
